The strength of the southwest monsoon has subsided in Kerala after a week of intense rainfall. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has eased its warnings for many districts in the state. On Tuesday, the IMD issued yellow alerts for four northern districts in the state, while no warning is in place for the rest of the state. 

A yellow alert has been declared in Kasaragod, Kannur, Kozhikode, and Wayanad, indicating the possibility of heavy rainfall ranging from 7 cm to 11 cm. On Wednesday, the India Meteorological Department issued a yellow alert for Kasaragod, Kannur, Kozhikode, Malappuram, Thrissur, Alappuzha, and Ernakulam. 

The weather agency has predicted heavy rainfall (7-11cm in 24 hours) at isolated places in the state on Tuesday and Wednesday. Strong surface wind with speed reaching 30-40 kmph is likely to prevail occasionally over Kerala on these days. 

Meanwhile, the Alappuzha District Collector has declared a holiday for all educational institutions in Kuttanad taluk and Purakkad panchayat on Tuesday. This follows widespread waterlogging and rising water levels caused by continuous heavy rainfall over the past few days. The holiday also applies to all schools functioning as relief camps in the district.

The IMD has indicated the possibility of isolated heavy rainfall in many places in Kerala until June 4. The weather agency also warned fishermen not to venture into the southern and central parts of the Arabian Sea and off the northern Kerala coast on June 3.
